Dune right panel stopped working

[FrankyDune2K]

Hello funky , hope u doing fine I got this problem in my dune since i been using that d3d9 file to use gdi u gave me last time. Sometines the whole production panel stops working till i restart the game meaning i cannot produce , doesnt happen very often but still ruins some games for me. Thanks ahead

[FunkyFr3sh]

remove the d3d9 file, you don't need it. I thought the problem was solved by changing a .ini setting?

[FrankyDune2K]

Yes the game is running smooth now with both d3d9 file and setting maxgameticks , except for this production panel thing

[FrankyDune2K]

Without the d3d9 file game is just bad so i cant delete it

[FunkyFr3sh]

It should work fine without it, maybe try another maxgameticks value? Which one you got now? upload your ddraw.ini here, let me check

[FrankyDune2K]

now i got the --2 equals refresh rate

[FrankyDune2K]

file attached ( oh not supported )

[FunkyFr3sh]

you can zip it or just open it and copy the text and paste in here

ddraw.zip

You using windowed mode? For that you have at least 1 bad setting, you need to set "hook=4" to have direct3d working properly without the d3d9,dll

If it still doesn't work, try maxgameticks=0 or maxgameticks=-1

[FrankyDune2K]

well, i just used maxgamesticks = -1 and hook=4 and got rid of the d3d9 file the game didnt go as smooth as usual , but whats more suprising is i had that right panel stops working thing in the third game

[FunkyFr3sh]

ah good, so it's a different problem then and not the renderer

[FrankyDune2K]

Yes it seems so, this problem has floated recently even a reset and reinstall didnt solve it. Pls if u dont mind me asking what could be causing it or at least where should i start looking

[FunkyFr3sh]

Actually i now just remembered that it could be the anti cheat maybe... But i'm not sure (I don't have the code anymore, so I can't look)

Don't use anything that could move your mouse or click or press buttons (Scripts. autoclicker, macros)

hello funky, hope you doing great im sorry for using this ticket to talk to you , i couldnt figure anyway to send a dm on github im trying to work on a new cncnet client based on xna found here : https://github.com/CnCNet/xna-cncnet-client its kinda hard and i was wondering if you could help me with some steps in it , also if you dont mind i see your old client code to take figure some stuff i would appereciate it a lot . thanks in advance sorry again for sending the message this way , pls if theres any other way we can contact let me know

[FunkyFr3sh]

Can't help you with that sorry, not going to spend my time with anything cncnet related anymore. Ask on the cncnet discord, they wanted to replace my client back when i was still working on it (that's also why i left), they'll have to help you with it

[FrankyDune2K]

i already checked the discord , they had like 4 guys trynna work on a new client but they havent done a single progress since a year and all just gave up on it ( they saying we cannot do anything because funky didnt give us the code LOL) which is why i decided to do it myself with the help of a chinese C# programmer.

[FunkyFr3sh]

I can't help you, I deleted everything 👍 I may join dato's discord again though, got a new discord acc cause I couldn't get into my old one again

[FrankyDune2K]

cool thats the best news i heard in a while , ill give you an invite to the new: discord for dune 2000 which is the most active one at the moment : https://discord.gg/YwX7WFzcY6
